Kasbah Garden Cafe

We went in with a lot of expectation. We LOVE Middle Eastern food. The place looks overall very unmaintained the building, the outside etc. The only part of the decor that we liked were the charming, oriental lamps. The service was polite but careless. She forgot our tea. We had to remind her after waiting for 30 min. The food took another 30 min. We ordered chicken couscous and kefta tagine. The couscous, the vegetables that came with the couscous, the bread and the tagine were all mediocre. The chicken itself was tasty, but it was basically spiced adobo rub. The price was very good. We had a pot of tea, and our dinner. The total bill was $33+. We are probably not going back. But we did see...

Indoor and outdoor decor is outstanding and the place is very homey. The owner is beyond nice, served us nearly at closing, and had a pleasant conversation with a family member of ours who was asking him silly questions before we left. There's nothing to dislike here. The food was good and very reasonable and our waiter was super chill and attentive, even though it was (again) nearly closing time. I have a lot of good restaurants in my area (Long Island) but this is one I wish I could steal and add to the list because unfortunately I was away visiting family!

Extremely delicious and fresh food! A lot for the price too. Generous in taste, size and hospitality. You Don't feel guilty about eating it all either, very clean food! The owners a great guy too, nice all the way through, and he even offered me a cookie as I was leaving, and he must have read my mind because I had a little bit of a sweet tooth (which is rare) and was thinking of walking down to Insomnia Cookies for a single cookie, but enjoyed a nice walk in the other direction instead, and got to pet a few dogs, thanks to him.

This place redefines falafel to be this fried yellow tasteless goop that is not the Lebanese, middle eastern variety. Tahini is ok and likely out of a can, Dolma is good and likely out of a can, Babaghanoush is a tasteless blob. Had to abandon and go to another dinner place. The only saving grace is the backyard setting with one (only one) friendly, fast staff.

An adorable garden restaurant in the heart of New Haven. A true find. The lamb tagine is absolutely divine. The fish tagine was also quite tasty. Definitely would recommend on a beautiful afternoon or evening. Has BYOB for dining, and also dog friendly.
